He's just a guy who's tired of all the corruption. The machine wants to take him down, once and for all...starting with blaming his future wife for murder.

In this sequel to The Mountain Man’s Dog, rustic forester Lehigh Carter fights to clear first his own name, then that of his fiancée, Stacy McBride, as they are accused of murdering the deputy who once made their lives miserable.

The murder of popular acting Sheriff Jared Barkley in Clarkesville, a small town in Oregon’s Cascade Mountains, put Lehigh and Stacy’s plans to marry on hold when Stacy is arrested for committing the crime. On the advice of her lawyer, Stacy cuts off ties to Lehigh, who remains a subject of the investigation by the crooked cops and politicians running Mt. Hood County.

Lehigh conducts his own investigation into the murder and discovers a series of clandestine meetings between Jared and Stacy leading up to his death—meetings that look a lot like an ongoing secret love affair, rekindled from their youth. Lehigh's doubts about Stacy’s innocence multiply when she reconnects with her ex-fiancé, attorney Paul van Paten, a leading member of the conspiracy against Lehigh.

Rejecting the advice of his lawyer, Lehigh plays a high-stakes game of legal chicken to infiltrate the conspiracy and discover the truth behind Jared Barkley’s murder, putting himself in greater danger than he ever imagined.

The Mountain Man's Bride, book two of The Mountain Man Mysteries, combines the adventure and grit of a thriller, the suspense of a mystery, the sweetness of a romance, and the humor of a dog cozy to delight and enchant all readers who enjoy a well-written story.

Review

"Have you ever loved someone so much you'd go to prison for them? Lehigh, Stacy, and their dogs are on the road again... Romance thwarted by family dysfunction, jealousy,corrupt cops, deceptions, and politics combine to make for another fun Northwest wild ride."--Eric Witchey, award-winning author of Bull's Labyrinth

"Gary Corbin skillfully captures the Pacific Northwest in this novel, from the landscape to the laid back ambitions. I fell in love with Lehigh Carter and his attitude towards authority. This is a good story and a very fun read."--Jill Kelly, author of Fog of Dead Souls and Broken Boys

The story was very intense.I do want point out a couple of suggestions. In chapter 1 towards the end of that chapter at least 3 pages repeated themselves. Chapter 13 2 paragraphs repeated one after the other.With that said, I really got into this story. So much so I ended up reading the whole in one sitting.I just wanted see how it all would come together.Excellent story Mr Corbin

This is part two in the series, In book one readers can learn more about Lehigh Carter. You don't need to read book one to enjoy book 2, but I recommend both. Lehigh Carter is back this time with his fiancee, Stacy McBride, and the two find themselves stuck in a murder mystery.when accused of murdering acting Sheriff Jared Barkley.Someone neither Lehigh or Stacy care for. Secrets of the past catch up with the future as the case swirls in a twisted suspense. Gary Corbin knows how to tell an intriguing tale. Readers should check out all the books by this author.

This book is the continuing adventures of Lehigh Carter (of The Mountain Man’s Dog 2015). A suspense- type mystery, it is set in Oregon and features a somewhat convoluted plot mixing politics with murder. Although not a Romance novel the story does seem to focus as much on the relationships as on the mystery.
